His overall dynamic style of playing, mixed with his very spiritual and religious nature made him a force to be reckoned with. Notice how in any ensemble he plays in, whenever he sparks his first note, he takes control of the entire situation. His playing has become so enigmatic and immediately noticeable. He has a tone like no other jazz musician, and is a household name for good reason. Even in his most self-indulgent, overly-spiritual moments, Coltrane's music contains a sense of humanistic realism to it that makes it immediately relatable. Coltrane's late-period avant-garde music is even representative of the time around him, where he was often persecuted for his race, and even his free approach to music which garnered him hatred from some of his peers. Coltrane's music not only defines a specific period of time right down to the bone, but it also defines the human state of mind, which is an eternal thing that won't ever lose impact.

His ability to play fast is one attribute that makes him a very powerful all-around musician, and his ability to do it fluidly and improvised, using the very influences he had at that one moment, is another. I've never heard another musician so unbelievably skilled at his craft, at his compositions, AND at his expressing what was in his heart.
Wholeheartedly agree!

Timless music:

Annnd....people who rap about smoking weed 80%+ of the time really dont have anything worth while to say in my opinion.

This is thread is asking an almost impossible question. "Greatest" could mean everything from mastery of one's instrument to his or her influence on music. Really, each musician is good in his or her own way. Sometimes I don't really understand the point of ranking musicians. Of course, then there are pseudo musicians like that Gaga woman and Justin Bieber... but that's another story.

Yeah I think it was more or less put out there for you to state your favorite artist or artists. There's really no one way to rank them. But for some their worldwide influence on music and pioneering of some things. Puts them on another level.
